In general, three to four months is sufficient time to adequately prepare for the GMAT. You still have ample time to take the GMAT before applying. The gist of your post was somewhat non-specific, so perhaps you should start here: everything-you-need-to-prepare-for-the-gmat-129968.html

September or even October would be fine for round one, though it's best to check with each school to make sure how much time you actually have. It's fairly common for schools to accept the unofficial score while they wait for the official report. This could give you an additional week or two to prepare for the GMAT. Again, though, check with the schools to determine whether they are flexible about this.
